Companieshouse Avaliações 

Worst possible 'service', if that is, what it can be called. There is hardly any day where their Online system works or is fully functioning, either it is not possible to get into any company records, as has happened once again since early this morning, or most of the times, when processing a payment, the screen will tell you that they could not process the payment, although in reality, they have taken the money. Happend at least one thousand times over the past two or three years. We manage a very large number of companies, so are in their system every day and all day, but there is hardly any day, where the system works. Surely it is not beyong some IT experts capabilty, to set up a simple system that works once and for all. Companies House does not care about its customers, i.e. the public, they could not care less.

Another useless government run agency I’ve had 2 companies set up with my details but they aren’t interested anyone can do it and they don’t have any checks in place to stop people doing it.
The first time I reported it they asked me to fill in a form to get the company closed down which I did and they said they received then I chased it up a few months later but they denied receiving the form, I even have the emails confirming they received the form then after complaining again they said they aren’t accepting the forms anymore there is a different process now.
I have since had another company set up my in my name but they just ignore my emails now because they don’t care I hope something fraudulent does happen so I can go down the road of suing them for not taking proper action

Absolutely shocking registered my ltd Company then was told 3 working day turn around for certs because there's a back log yeah right all still working from home acting as if there's still covid restrictions. Shows what our tax is getting spent on lazy lazy people that wanna stay home sack the lot of them.

Unbelievable that this institution still operates in its current form. They must be so entrenched in the murky nepotistic world of private school grads in governmental departments that they are somehow untouchable. They certainly wouldnt be allowed to operate as they do in a universe where quality/service/professionalism are a pre-requisite of existence. Lack of communication has meant ive had to fill out the forms for fraudulent company listings at my 90yo inlaws 3 F*********G TIMES!!! You would have thought that an initial copy of the property title deeds would be enough to put a block on any further activity. But oh no, far to simple for CH to actually bother with. Atrocious.

I have always found companies to be house a friendly, helpful, and reliable service with a high professional standard.

Typical civil service, rules, rules and forms, forms.

I have read the reviews of others on this website with regard to fraudulent use of their home address and suffered 2 such occurrences.

The whole registration system is a farce. ANYONE seems to be able to register a company with your address with NO PROOF that they live or work at that address at all.
In contrast when you try to get the entry corrected you have to prove you live at the address. You have to fill out 2 forms that contains the same details, RP02A and RP07, real pain. You also have to register for an Account to submit them! It then takes over a month for Companies House to get round to processing your forms.

Then comes the absolute farce of the letters. Letters telling me I have submitted the request and have too wait 28 days for the directors to reply and refute the address claim even though I have sent proof that it is my address. Then letters to the "directors" that someone, me, has submitted a challenge to the address. These letters obviously come to me as mine is the the address of the company. When you point this farce out, the rules are the rules.

Then more letters to me and the directors when the change is finally made! As a result of 2 fraudulent addressed companies (Fairly sure the source is of Chinese origin) I have a pile of letters. What happened to being green. They have my email on the correction submission, and the postage costs.

Don't waste your time ringing as the rules are the rules. Basically ANYONE can use your address fraudulently without any proof of ownership of your address.

They facilitate fraud and refuse to act upon instructions to remove fraud data on their records. Someone used my personal details to create a company which is clearly fraudulent. After prompting them about this fraud they do not bother to do anything. A disaster and paradise for fraudsters. They put UK's business reputation (or what's left of it) into distrust and disrepute.

I am a Director of The Lawns (Brenchley) Management Ltd 02190123. Which is not a trading company which only exists to control the access road to this small estate (10 houses)
We do not trade,there is no profit/loss account.
A return is regularly sent to Companies House
Suddenly out of the blue they are asking for these accounts.
Have told them once about the situation. Their response is to ask the same question and threatening action.
Anybody to help me please?
Nearly 90 too old for this bureacratic nightmare.

Thank you. Michael Daniels

I have been trying to get a fraudulent use of my address removed. However it is proving to be impossible as they say that there is nothing they can do! I have been promised that someone would phone me. Guess what, no one ever does.

Disgusting , someone else using my house address as business address and now I need to prove to them that i have rights to my house and who opened business didn’t need to do that , so AVOID ITS FRAUD!!!!!

Bunch of Sharks who are only after they're own greed! They Couldn't care less if how long stuff takes on there side, however if the business directors miss a date by one day by misleading information given via customer services then they are happy to go ahead and fine you on their own accord.
It's not surprising how the economy is failing in this country with these Sharks in charge!

I wish I could give no stars!

For the love of God, just build a site that works!!

Sent one single letter saying accounts due by 31st October for a dormant company. I file on the 31st. Then get £150 late fee. I ring them they say that letter didn’t mean that but that the company would be struck off. Very miss leading. Right but I only received that one letter. There reply ‘we sent you two letters and and one email’. Well they didn’t and this is my home address. No record of anything being sent to me and no leg to stand on to appeal as it must be extreme reasons only. What a great scam.

I discovered 12 months ago someone had used my name & address, classing me as being the Director. I managed to get this removed but then discovered I was classed as owning 75% of the company. I had nothing to do with them, only discovered this had happened due to receiving a letter from Companies House congratulating me. The company is now classed as Dissolved but my name remains on there. Customer service is atrocious, they allow fraudulent activity to happen. Name given to them had the title of Mr, obviously isn’t me as I am female - also date of birth isn’t mine. Why don’t they correspond with us first before adding our name & address online? They are as disgraceful as the fraudster. The only way I could get my name removed is via a Court Order.

Just called about a business being set up in my name that I know nothing about. The woman sounded like she had just woke up!
Asked what was going on and she couldn’t tell me.
I asked why my info had been used? Couldn’t tell me.
Fill in this form and this form and hung up.

They're a load of crap. Someone used my address as a company director (by the way everyone, this is a nationwide scam) and these morons yes I said morons don't do any diligent checks on the clowns that phone up with fake names and details. They're not interested in the slightest. Had to sign upto Companies House and fill out a form to have my address removed. I contacted the police on 101, Actionfraud. I was informed that if I knew the fraudster then they wouldn't remove my details. Thanks for getting back to me guys, oh wait a minute, you haven't. I think Companies House is a circus, full of clowns.

Waited an age for call to be answered. Greeting wasn’t anything like “Companies House how can I help you”. It was simply “Number?”. Agent was abrupt and disinterested in the extreme. And as it subsequently turned out the information reluctantly provided was damagingly incorrect.

Whilst companies house shares the challenges of all government departments and websites, they genuinely try to communicate and support.

I received an email regarding incorrect details and was able to get through directly to someone polite and helpful (I was worried it was a scam when that happened).

Far better then other UK government departments such as HMRC

Why is every single government website so bad and poorly laid out? Were they all designed and coded by work experience kids? It's genuinely shameful. How can it take HOURS to send an email for something like a password reset?

XUHAOHAWO Limited is a scam. I have been trying to get delivery of an item ordered on 17th July (and in the end a refund) with no success. They insist delivery has been made, while my address was supplied correctly and no delivery has been made.
